Life...

title tells it all

life....

life once upon a time

seemed to simple

a time

when my eyes stayed

shut

constantly

and pain

seemed simply to be

so normal

and it still is

i have scars

that painfully....

constantly....

stare at me as a mere reminder of the past

a wounds

left open so wide

they'll never heal

 

life....

 

lifes so unexplainable

my words...

sometimes...

feel as if theyll eat me

alive

consume me wholly

and spit me out again

leaving me

even more lost

than before

Dear Erynne,

I think I understand where you are coming from.

"lifes so unexplainable
my words...
sometimes...
feel as if theyll eat me
alive"

Very nicely put. You might like my poem "Epic". It runs along similar lines.

What I really like about your poem is its sparseness. It is a very tight work.

Good job and best regards,

Rick
